Perhaps if you did a webpage on exactly how to do it, people might be more interested...

I, for one, simply don't have the time to find out how the hard way

hi Rockfish,
first I created a new folder inside the "model" folder in FMS,
then I copy/paisted a .wav file to this folder,
then I copy/paisted the pitts speacials .par file to the folder,
then I ran metasequoia and opened the flanker.iwo file,
I rotated the model to the same orientation as the stock
models, then saved as "flanker.mql" and then saved as
"flanker.x" into the folder created earlier..rename the files
all the same:
flanker.x
flanker.par
flanker.mql
flanker.wav
now just select all, copy/paist into the main model folder
where all the others are..you should now be able to select
your model and fly it..you can also now use Alt/PrintScreen
to grab a screeny and convert it to a 200x200 .jpeg
and drop that into the model file...make sure it has the
"_prv.jpg" prv part after the name..like:
flanker_prv.jpg..you should now see your screengrab in
the preview window when you select your model.

there ya go..
Joe

OK, and thanks

However, what I *really* want, is to understand (preferably in 3 minutes flat...) how to create a model from scratch, rather than forge one from other peoples efforts...

I can draw fine in 2D, but 3D...???

Still, I *will* go ahead and play with your method, I *must learn something*, surely!!!

Rockfist,

There already is a web site with the FULL instructions about how to draw FMS models from scratch using a 3D drawing program called

Drawing models with that program is almost as much fun as actually flying them in FMS (or out on the field)!!
